"Two pounds of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, one pound of mint cake, one pound of thousand-layer cake, and some fennel cakes and crispy pastries."

Lu Baiwei stood in front of the pastry counter and was responsible for selecting, while He Ting was responsible for giving the money and tickets.

Seeing how lavishly the couple spent money, Yin Yue'e felt that Lu Baiwei was truly blessed to marry an educated youth from the capital.

He packed the pastries weighed for Lu Baiwei and chatted with her: "Weiwei, you don't know, my mother stayed at my house for several days and said she wanted to stay in the county for the New Year."

Lu Baiwei knew that Shen Guixiang had come to the county town.

How can the bride's family celebrate the New Year at their daughter's home?

Lu Baiwei expressed surprise.

Yin Yue'e frowned: "I don't know what my brother said to her this time. She has a big appetite and insisted that we buy her New Year's goods. Don't you know that she asked for ten kilograms of meat. Where can I get the meat ticket for her?"

"I refused to give it to her, and she said she would stay at my house for the New Year. She made a scene every day in the family compound, and I was afraid to go home after work."

Yin Yue'e is now hoping that someone will take Shen Guixiang back to the Xiangyang Brigade.

Send that great god away from home quickly.

Otherwise, we won’t be able to celebrate this New Year.

She was desperate and tried every possible means. She discussed with Lu Baiwei: "Weiwei, when will you return to the team? Can you help me bring her back to Xiangyang Team?"

Who is Shen Guixiang?

That's a piece of sticky candy that can't be thrown away.

My own mother doesn't care, so I want to ask them for help.

He Ting's face immediately turned black.

Seeing that He Ting looked unhappy, Yin Yue'e also felt that she had gone too far.

She tried to smooth things over: "Forget it, I just mentioned it casually, I know it's inappropriate."

"What else do you want to call?"

Yin Yue'e asked Lu Baiwei: "Do you want the defective cloth?"

"No tickets are needed. I saved the money to make two sets of clothes. I saved the cloth before to give to my mother's family. Now I know that my mother's appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and I can't give her anything."

The cloth Tang Jinghai helped to get was enough, and he could have given some to Zhou Yueying.

Liu Zaicheng drove a tractor to take them to the county town. In order to thank Zhou Yueying, her uncle Tang Jinghai asked Liu Zaicheng to bring some cloth back to Zhou Yueying.

Therefore, the cloth she had now was enough to make clothes for her family.

Although it was inappropriate for Yin Yue'e to ask them to take Shen Guixiang back to Xiangyang Brigade, Yin Yue'e had been very good to her in her previous life. Even though she had broken up with Yin Zhi and Shen Guixiang, she felt sorry for her and secretly gave her money.

Lu Baiwei didn't want to meddle in other people's business.

Yin Yue'e was also eager to give her the cloth that did not require tickets.

More importantly, it’s nice to be able to cause trouble for Shen Guixiang, my enemy from my previous life.

Lu Baiwei was about to leave the counter and go shopping somewhere else, but after thinking it over, she stopped.

"Sister Yue'e, the Women's Federation should be able to take care of this matter."

Does the Women’s Federation also handle family disputes?

yes!

Her mother, Shen Guixiang, is on the Women's Federation's blacklist.

Last time, my sister-in-law Lu Jiaojiao filed a complaint, and the Women’s Federation in the county took note of it.

If she reported Shen Guixiang for bullying her daughters again, the Women's Federation might send her back to Xiangyang Brigade on her behalf.

Not going back!

Sure!

The evil mother-in-law who broke her daughter-in-law's belly was taken to the Women's Federation to be made an example of.

Knowing that this thing could work, Yin Yue'e felt that Lu Baiwei had solved a big worry for her. She was so happy that she generously weighed out two kilograms of peppermint candies.

Lu Baiwei and He Ting were about to leave the department store after shopping, and Yin Yue'e chased them to the door with a leather bag filled with candy.

"Weiwei, take this back and give it to the child to sweeten his mouth."

Lu Baiwei knew that this was Yin Yue'e's reward to thank her for her help and advice.

Yin Yue'e is not a bad person and she is happy to accept it.

"Thank you, Sister Yue'e."

"You're welcome, you're welcome, you can go shopping first."

Yin Yue'e waved enthusiastically: "Next time you come to the county hospital for a checkup, I'll treat you to a meal..."

Director Shen helped Lu Baiwei borrow books from the obstetrician and gynecologist. After staying in the county town for two days, she and He Ting were taken back to the brigade by a tractor arranged by Shen Junqian.

Also brought back to the team were the things she and He Ting had bought in the county town.

These are gifts from Director Shen and his grandson.

There were also rare goods from the south that Shen Qianjun prepared for her and He Ting as New Year gifts.

Zhou Yueying and Xiao Ranzi were warming themselves by the fire at home when they heard some noise and came out to see He Ting and Shen Junqian moving things into the main room one batch at a time.

"What are you doing in the county town?"

Zhou Yueying was surprised and joked, "Did you two rob the department store?"

"Hahaha, no, it was my brother Shen who went to the south to transport goods, and I asked him to bring some local specialties and New Year goods to visit relatives."

Lu Baiwei stuffed a bag of longan and a bag of dried mango into Zhou Yueying’s pocket.

Zhou Yueying was also worldly-wise and had eaten southern food in Beijing before.

She groaned, "Isn't this too expensive?"

"What's our relationship? He Ting accompanied me to the county town these two days, and you helped take care of Xiao Ranzi. At the rabbit farm, it was also Professor Chen who helped He Ting."

"There are also some dried seafood. I won't share them with you privately. Anyway, we have to eat together during the New Year."

Lu Baiwei had said this, so Zhou Yueying was no longer polite.

You have to act well.

Although they knew that Lu Baiwei was not really beaten by Lu Jianguo, upon hearing that she had returned from the county town, the people from the Tang family still rushed to the brigade clinic.

Anyway, it’s almost the 29th day of the lunar year.

After a busy year, I have some free time and am warming up by the fire at home. It's a good opportunity to come visit me.

Tang Yunling, Zhou Yanfeng, and Tang Yuanliang came with their children, and their two uncles and aunts also came to join in the fun.

Lu Baiwei just happened to distribute the New Year's goods that He Ting asked Shen Junqian to prepare to them.

"Weiwei, is this for us?"

Tang Jinghe, the team leader, also looked like he had never seen the world before: "They are all rare goods. It's really worth it for us to raise a niece."

Tang Yunling snorted in dissatisfaction.

Retorted Old Tang: "It's not worth it to support me, right?"

"It would be worth it if you got married earlier."

When Ye Hongying said this, she glanced at Zhou Yanfeng.

It must be because the fire in the room was too hot, Zhou Yanfeng's face was burning.

Tang Yunling glared at him fiercely, and he grinned foolishly.

He Ting: “…”

It's just unbearable to watch.

The southern dried goods that Shen Junqian prepared for his family were quite generous in quantity. He Ting unpacked dried mangoes, longans, dried lychees, and also packed some coconut candy for everyone to eat.

By the way, he also brought out a plate of peanuts and melon seeds that Shen Junqian from the county town had bought for him.

Everyone was eating melon seeds, warming themselves around the fire, and discussing where to have the New Year's Eve dinner.

The eldest uncle and the third uncle all vied to invite Lu Baiwei and He Ting to their homes for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Lu Baiwei simply suggested: "Why don't we prepare three tables for the New Year's Eve dinner at my house, and we can all eat together. Sister Yueying and Professor Chen can also come together, it will be more lively with more people."

Of course, there is also Zhou Yanfeng. Lu Baiwei also invited him to come home for the New Year’s Eve dinner.

Originally, everyone had their New Year’s Eve dinner at home.

Lu Baiwei and Zhou Yueying have a good relationship, so it would be inappropriate to leave them behind.

No matter which uncle's house she and He Ting ate at, Zhou Yueying and Chen Wen would not go with them.

When having New Year's Eve dinner at Lu Baiwei's house, the people of the Tang family didn't care too much and thought it was fine this way as it meant the whole family was together.
